OverviewThis book offers rich sociological analysis of the ways in which educational institutions influence indigenous identity formation in Chile. In doing so, Webb explores the mechanisms of new racism in schooling and demonstrates how continued forms of exclusion impact minority groups. By drawing on qualitative research conducted with Mapuche youth in schools in rural and urban settings, and in private state-subsidised and public schools, this volume provides a comprehensive exploration of how national belonging and indigeneity are articulated and experienced in institutional contexts. Close analysis of student and teacher narratives illustrates the reproduction of historically constructed ethnic and racial criteria, and demonstrates how these norms persist in schools, despite apparently progressive attitudes toward racism and colonial education in Chile. This critical perspective highlights the continued prevalence of implicit racism whereby schooling produces culturally subjective and exclusionary norms and values. By foregrounding contemporary issues of indigenous identity and education in Chile, this book adds important scholarship to the field. The text will be of interest to researchers, academics, and scholars in the fields of indigenous education, sociology of education, and international and comparative education.

Table of ContentsReviewsAndrew Webb's book offers a conceptually rigorous and empirically rich account of new racism in Chilean schooling. Drawing on a decade of research, Webb examines the exclusionary consequences of teachers' 'racelessness' that denies ongoing racism and underpins white norms and micro-level practices of structural racism. Critical of north American and European accounts of new racism in education, Webb demonstrates how the experiences of Chile's Mapuche youth reflect the damaging outcomes of not talking about race and racism, and the limits of intercultural bilingual education. In clear and accessible prose, this book provides a rigorous and timely contribution to urgent debates in education and Latin American studies. -- Sarah A.
